A Little Roller

Here are the weekly charts updated through 9/3.  What can we say?  The O’s continue to run away with this thing, showing remarkable balance with the #1 pitching staff and the #2 batting order. The Great Unfausto’s hitting has been impressive - improving steadily all summer - and some pitching staffs have made runs of late (the Cannolis and the Women)…but still the gap has widened.

Here are the weekly charts updated through 8/5.  Looks like the cellar dwellers have made a run the last couple weeks.  For example, take a look at how the Lady Knights’ hitting has spiked, while their pitching has steadily improved for 9 straight weeks.  Meanwhile, the Ottaway Women’s hitters have plumbed new depths and the O’s have had a downturn, coming back to the pack a bit.

Here are the weekly charts updated through 7/15.  The data show an increasingly strong lead for the O’s, which got me thinking.  With a lead of ~300 points in mid-July, what are the O’s chances of winning it all?  This league has crowned 10 winners according to the Yahoo! site, which is not a lot of data, but I’m curious what it says on this question.  So, that’s an idea for another post.

As a reminder, these charts measure how productive a teams hitting (points/game) and pitching (points/IP) are.  Remember last week when I talked about how the O’s pitching was perhaps regressing?  Well, they put in a stellar week to raise their season productivity back to 3.37 pts/IP. What appeared to be a trend may have been an anomaly.

• Week of 6/17: 3.38
• Week of 6/24: 3.45
• Week of 7/1:   2.66
• Week of 7/8:   2.94

Here are the weekly charts updated through 7/1. Apologies for the delay - it only takes me 15 minutes to make the charts, but finding the time to write and post the update is proving more difficult than expected.

In any event, here are a couple quick items of note.  First, Subject to Change is a team on the move.  Their hitting and pitching rates have been improving the last three weeks and are in the top quartile. Accordingly, they’re making a run in the standings. Secondly, my Jersey Guns pitching staff is delivering the second best productivity in the league. More on that below.

About my Jersey Guns pitching…I’m happy with this performance because I had a hard time with pitching the last couple years. Not that anyone cares about that. What’s interesting, though, is that before Latos’ start on 7/5, I had no pitcher in the top 25. And even after that start, Latos is only coming in at #25, and the rest of my staff is clustered between 31-40. Looks like the Jersey Guns’ success is based on a group of strong pitchers, rather than 1 or 2 stand-outs buoying a set of middling pitchers. My relief pitching is strong (and relievers typically have stronger productivity rates than starters given the scoring system), but I don’t expect that to be an overwhelming factor given their relatively small share of overall pitching points. Something to look into more if time allows.
